BASEBALL / SOFTBALL

“It’s not enough anymore to say that you work hard, because everyone
works hard. You need to work smart. The work I did with Athletic
Republic during the off-season is a combination of those two. It’s a
great example of how today’s athletes should train.”

- Jim Thome, MLB

AT ATHLETIC REPUBLIC, WE CONCENTRATE ON ONLY ONE THING: BETTER ATHLETES.

Ever
since we first started blending the science of physiology and biomechanics with
sport-specific training more than 28 years ago, we’ve made it our singular
quest to be the go-to place for serious athletes. We’ve developed a unique program
to specifically train baseball players to improve their speed, power, agility and
reactions so they can become not just better athletes, but better baseball
athletes. Through our evidence-based training protocols and patented equipment,
we improve an athlete’s hitting and throwing mechanics, first step quickness
and flat-out speed and a players anticipation and reaction skills, We also
provide exact neurological learning and coordination that improves a player's
ability to hit, throw, catch, pitch and field.

SPEED,
POWER AND AGILITY ARE THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE.

At any age, at any level, baseball is a physically and
intellectually demanding sport. By focusing on speed power and agility we can
give every baseball player the tools to be more successful on the field,
regardless of their position.

SPEED: Baseball is made
up of intense bursts of speed. Success or failure is tied directly to an
athletes' ability to increase or decrease speed in just a few steps.

POWER:
Hitting with explosive power is developed by improving rotational strength and
stability. Pitching velocity is increased by
strengthening the acceleration and deceleration muscles used for every throw.

AGILITY: Body control is essential for
making a defensive play. An efficient player must be able to shuffle, sprint, step,
reach, change direction, move backward and jump to successfully field a ball.

QUICKNESS & AGILITY - To improve your range and ability to make the great play.

SPEED – Average improvement in the 40-yard dash is .2 - .4 seconds. Think how much better we can make your 60-yard dash time.

VERTICAL JUMP – Average improvement of 2 – 4 inches means you make that catch at the wall or snag the game saving line drive.

THROWING VELOCITY & DISTANCE – Average improvement after using the Athletic Republic Throwing Cords is 5 mph. That can be the difference between D-I and D-III.

HITTING POWER – Join the other MLB sluggers who’ve maximized their bat speed with the Athletic Republic Hitting Harness and watch your warning track power morph into upper deck power.
